T-Bone walks though choosing an expandable broadhead, and specifically what he prefers on the G5 Deadmeat and Megameat broadheads over traditional fold-over expandable broadheads.

I love the video T-Bone! I like how you said things like "my opinion" and "my 2 cents." You're not telling people what to shoot, just giving your information and your opinion. Shoot what YOU like! I'm a Magnus fixed blade guy. I don't shoot expandables anymore, not because someone told me to change, but because that's what works for ME. This clearly works for you! Good luck this season Bone Collectors!

Man oh man. First day of bow season yesterday for me and decided to use the deadmeat for the first time. Went through like buttah!!! Biggest hole I’ve ever seen in a deer ever... he went a total of 40 yards and was down w a devastating blood trail. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

My daughter and I harvested two bucks this past Saturday shooting these out of a Ravine R29X. The wound channels on both were ridiculous! I am now stockpiling the 2" Megameat broadheads because frankly, I can't see a better design out there now or in the future. Coupling 3 strong 2" blades with a solid chisel tipped body is a deadly combination! My hats off to you T-Bone for helping design this broadhead. Job well done💯

Those dead meats out of my crossbow absolutely ruined a doe I shot earlier this season. Thing went in a perfect broadside shot then hit bone or something and bounced out of the back through all the guts. Blood trails sucked too especially because she had her guts hanging out of the wound clogging the hole stopping blood from coming out. Couldn't find her that night in the heat so the meat sat and got ruined. Had to track it for a few hundred yards. They pre-deploy constantly in ur quiver too so you're always having to snap the blades back into the collars wearing them out so u have to buy new ones. Idk maybe I'm doing a little more walking around and scouting than most ppl r. Those bpms r nice though for getting it sighted in and I appreciate that from a broadhead company since most companies don't think they need to give u a practice head anymore so u ruin perfectly good broadheads practicing and have to buy more which is a smart little hustle. If these work right though I can see them being awesome broadheads. That exit hole was ridiculously huge. Entry was smaller than my Nap fixed blade hell razors and I'm sure that's why the blood trail sucked besides the exit being clogged with intestines and guts. Don't think they do well with bone at all and once u use them they're no good anymore get all clogged up with viscera hair and whatever else. Even with replacement blades (because mine got all bent and ruined) they wouldn't be worth it to much hassle and I wouldn't trust it.

I shot the mega meat broadhead into a buck this year with my 70lbs RX4 and the blades did not deploy. I have been a montec shooter for as long as I can remember but when it comes to mechanicals I prefer the t3. I think if G5 was able to come out with a slightly different collar that allowed the blades to deploy with slightly less pressure I would try them again.

I've shot Rage since day 1 and have killed over 125 deer with em. Everyone should shoot what they shoot best and are comfortable with. Not concerned with other people's stories as to why the won't shoot certain broadheads. Im never changing what isn't broken. Screw whatever the latest and greatest is or pumping up who you're sponsored by. Any and every broadhead will kill if the shot placement is spot on. It's 100% about shot placement and nothing else for me.

@joeymurphy56173 жыл бұрын
if you try a 3 blade, i would recommend a Grim Reaper Fatal Steel 1-1/4” 3 blade for your setup. if you’ve been having success with the Rage, why switch? in my opinion 55lbs and 26” is pushing it for being able to use mechanicals. to be honest with you, if you can find you some NAP Bloodrunners, those might be a bit better for your setup than Rage. or even some G5 Striker Magnums. those are fixed 3 blade but they’re 1.5” cut. you get the reliability of a fixed with a bigger hole than the 1-3/8” Grim Reapers that i use. 2 issues with a big fixed blade like that though. 1, they can easily catch air and plane off but i’ve been told that can be tuned out. 2. more surface area. large broadheads create drag in an animal. that can leech penetration. not as much as a mechanical but it will still leech a little penetration.

More surface means LESS Penetration-The problem which Mechanicals of all kinds no matter how many blades is they Never for me once in 12 years have gotten full pass through and I shoot 70lbs. If ANY Branches and I mean any even a thorn bush tiny branch gets in the way then u are completely and udderly fucked! And if the Mechanical hits the animals and goes hits a Bone u are Completely fucked where a fixed blows through all that with Zero Problems. It took me losing 2 giants because of this and 12 years before I realized I have been fucking myself bc I’m addicted to the Giant holes and they never run far. Of course as a man we naturally want the most damage broadhead upon entering the animal but u need to think further ahead than that. U want Giant holes and u hunt field edges with nothing in between u and the deer then ok as long as bone isn’t involved u should be good BUT if u want CONSISTENCY no matter what Fixed is the way to go. Situations and consistency are everything in deer hunting big Pope N Young bucks
